Euflexxa 2ml is an injectable medication used for the treatment of knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. It is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, viscoelastic solution containing high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate. Hyaluronate is a natural substance found in the human body that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in joints. Euflexxa 2ml helps to relieve knee pain by supplementing the hyaluronate in the knee joint.

Euflexxa 2ml is indicated for the treatment of osteoarthritis knee pain in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, such as acetaminophen. It is administered by injection directly into the knee joint by a healthcare provider. The injection is typically given once a week for three weeks.

Euflexxa 2ml is generally well-tolerated, with a low incidence of side effects. Common side effects include knee pain, swelling, warmth, and redness at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a few days. Less common side effects include rash, hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Patients who experience any of these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately.

It is important to note that Euflexxa 2ml is not recommended for use in patients with a known hypersensitivity to hyaluronate products, infections or skin diseases in the area of the injection site, and patients with knee joint infections. It is also not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women.

In conclusion, Euflexxa 2ml is an effective treatment option for patients suffering from knee pain caused by osteoarthritis who have failed to respond to conservative therapies. With its low incidence of side effects and ease of administration, it is a valuable addition to the arsenal of treatments available for this common condition. However, patients should always consult with their healthcare provider to determine if Euflexxa 2ml is right for them.
